Old Man Xu looked at Xu Er's shocked appearance, his eyes slanted, and he said angrily: "What, it's not good for you to dislike this marriage?" ”

Xu Er hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, listening to what my father said, my son thinks this family business is good." ”

Gu Dexing's family background is innocent, his family has the dividends of the Gu family's livelihood, and he has a profit, and he was admitted to the children's life at a young age, except for the early death of his mother and the aunt's being too spicy, there is really nothing wrong with it.

It's just that Xu Er didn't expect that his father could think of Zhong Yatou.

Zhong Yatou is the least outstanding of the girls in the family, and sometimes he thinks that his father has forgotten this granddaughter.

With a snap, Old Man Xu picked up a booklet, smashed it at Xu Er, and scolded: "The old man knows what you are thinking, and thinks that I am partial to the big house, and I don't care about Miss Zhong, right?" I'm eccentric, I admit it, who let Brother Ming study well. My Xu family has produced a good seedling of reading for several generations, and I want to rely on him to step into the scholar clan, how can I not do it if I don't care about the big house? ”

He added: "But although I love the big house, I haven't forgotten how many grandchildren I have." I remember all the things about these boys and girls in my heart, and I won't really treat anyone badly. ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Xu took the opportunity to say: "In the future, the family's industrial large houses will account for forty percent, and the remaining two and three rooms will be divided equally." As for the bride silver of the grandchildren, the children and grandchildren of the big house are more than 20% of the silver, and the children and grandchildren of the second and third rooms are less than 20%. However, Zhong Yatou is the first granddaughter in the family, and the old husband will use his own private bank to supplement her dowry of 20%. ”

looked at Xu Zhaoming again: "Brother Ming is the first grandson in the family, and he has a future, when you get married, grandpa will also give you an extra 20% of the dowry money." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Er and Xu Zhaoming were shocked, they didn't expect that Old Man Xu would tell them about the division of production so early.

Xu Er cried, shed tears and said: "Dad, my son doesn't mean that, you don't have to do this, my son doesn't need so much property." ”

In order to keep the family branch, the world attaches great importance to the eldest house, and has always been divided, and the eldest house can get at least seventy percent of the family property, and the rest is divided equally among the brothers in each house.

Xu Er knew that he was not favored, and his sons and daughters in the family were not as good as the other two parties, so he had long been ready to take only one percent of the family property. I didn't expect my father to give him thirty percent of the family property, and he couldn't cry if he didn't want to.

"What are you crying about? Look at your unproductive appearance, quickly wipe away your tears, the most annoying big man drops golden beans, it's disgusting. ”

Old man Xu said disgusted, but he knew that his second son was good, the big house was in Jiangnan all the year round, and the most accompanying him was the second room and the third room, but the only one who was most dedicated to him was the second room.

The second room husband and wife are safe and easy to satisfy people, there is no big house husband and wife, they can stay in their hometown to live, although he usually does not say good things about the second room, but will not treat the second room badly.

Xu Er listened, wiped away his tears, and said, "It's my son who is in love, don't be angry." ”

Old Man Xu didn't pay attention to him anymore, but looked at Xu Zhaoming and asked, "Brother Ming, are you dissatisfied with such a division of property at home?" ”

After hearing this, Xu Zhaoming immediately got up and said respectfully: "Grandpa is wise, and grandchildren are convinced." ”

He also said: "As the saying goes, a good man doesn't eat a family meal, and a manly man should add property to his family, instead of coveting his family's property." And the second uncle and the third uncle serve their grandfather all the year round, and take care of the housework, they have all the credit and hard work, and they deserve the family property, and the grandchildren have no objections. ”

At the end, he added: "If you want to come to your father, he will not have any objections." ”

After hearing this, Old Man Xu was very satisfied: "You have really grown a lot, grandpa is half of his heart." ”

To be honest, if Xu Zhaoming was still as arrogant and incompetent as before, he really wouldn't dare to let him become an official, lest he get a bad time and the whole clan would be punished.

"It will be good for you to get along with Brother An'er and them more, and learn how to behave in the world. After you pass the hospital examination, your grandfather will personally take you to inspect the shops and collect rent, so that you can see how this farmer and the people in the market live. ”

Xu Zhaoming listened, his eyes turned red, his grandfather was really disgusted with him, and he had to teach him personally when he was old, for fear that he would not be able to do general affairs and suffer a loss when he entered the officialdom: "Yes, grandpa rest assured, grandpa must study hard." ”

Old Man Xu was very satisfied, and said to Xu Er: "Second brother, go and tell your daughter-in-law about marrying Gu Dexing's family, if you husband and wife are happy, you will come to the door tomorrow with a generous gift, apologize and hint at this matter." ”

"So fast?" Xu Er was shocked, this marriage is a big event, they are women, so they have to be reserved.

Old Man Xu said: "It's not fast, if you slow down, even Gu Dexing will be snatched away." ”

There were three children in Dafeng Village at once, and it has been spread to several nearby counties, and even the rich families in the county are inquiring about Gu Jin'an and the three of them, and they want to recruit them as sons-in-law.

Xu Er didn't dare to delay any longer when he heard this, so he immediately got up and said, "Son, I'm going to find the Lu family." ”

After that, he hurriedly left the study, found his daughter-in-law, and told the Lu family that Old Man Xu was going to tell Xu Zhong to Gu Dexing.

After hearing this, the Lu family was not very happy, the son-in-law she fancied was Gu Jin'an, so she said with extravagance: "Xianggong, the spirit girl is not good over there, can't we Zhong Ya be on top of it?" Gu Jin'an is such a good offspring, and there is still such a big livelihood in the family, if our Zhong girl can marry Gu Jin'an, I will have a short life of ten years. ”

Xu Er frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, then the Zheng family has taken a fancy to Gu Jin'an, and you still want to rob people from the Zheng family?" Don't be stupid, Gu Dexing is good. ”

Lu Shi is still a little disgusted: "He has no mother, only a widower father, and his aunt is still such a shrew, if we marry Zhong, won't we be bullied by my uncle?" ”

Xu Zhong saw that the sky was gloomy, and he estimated that it was going to rain, thinking that the weather would be cooler after the rain, so he wanted to ask his own mother if he wanted to give Xu Ling a cloak to the ancestral hall. After all, she is a girl from the Changfang, if she falls ill, her mother will be in charge of the housework, and she will also be hated by the big house.

Unexpectedly, when she heard such words, her face turned red, she knocked lightly on the door, and said, "Daddy, my daughter is willing to marry." ”

Although he is shy, Xu Zhong is neat and tidy, thinking that he is already seventeen years old, and he has already reached the age of getting married, Gu Dexing is good, and he is better than some rich children in the county.

And she believes in herself, as long as she manages her carefully, she will definitely be able to live a good life, and it will not be worse than marrying a child of a rich family in the county.

"Linglong, what do you say, are you really willing?" The Lu family was relieved and distressed, and his eldest daughter was really sensible.

Xu Er was very happy, but he didn't stay long, but said to the Lu family: "You tell Linglong well, this family business is not bad." ”

With that, they left the house and let the mother and daughter whisper.
